This is a scheme to support a new generation of writers to develop their skills and work from the ground up.

The Next Chapter will celebrate writers who reflect the diversity of Australian identities and experiences and offer opportunities to writers from marginalised communities. As such, grants in any given year will be distributed amongst writers from a diversity of backgrounds.

We’ll keep this brief – you should be writing, not bogged down in endless applications! But there are some things we need to know to decide if The Next Chapter is for you.
